Here's a short list of things tax money funds: Roads

Schools

Healthcare (in civilized countries)

Making sure companies selling medicine aren't killing people

Making sure companies don't dump toxic waste into rivers and lakes

Note that comparing Walmart vs the government is especially funny since most of Warlmart's expansion comes from the fact that it under-pays it's workers so much that the federal government has to support them since they aren't able to afford housing and food. It's also really funny that he brings up Fanny Mae as an argument against government efficiency since they are a private company that screwed up so badly they basically destroyed the economy. It's also really funny that he brings up healthcare since Medicare and Medicaid both run several times more efficiently than privately run healthcare.
